Hi All,
It sounds as though many are looking forward to this weekend's race at Lake Alexander. The 300/13/2 format is ideal for club events ... fast & furious for some and challenging enough for others .... and we get finished & packed up early to still be able to enjoy a trip to the markets or brunch with the family !
It's also a fantastic distance for all our new members to have a go at. Great to see the increasing number of our juniors having a go at the senior events & this distance is ideal.
When can juniors compete at senior events? Basically as soon as they are skilled and confident enough to be riding on open roads and their age fits with the distance guidelines for juniors. If in doubt, have a chat to our RD John Thyne who also takes our junior training sessions.

OTHER NEWS:
1. It's a huge weekend in triathlon with ITU Age Group World Championships & ITU World Championship Series Final in Beijing & Ironman 70.3 World Championships happening in Henderson (Las Vegas).
2. We have two members competing in Las Vegas, Blue Watt (M50-54) and Grant Preddy (M25-29). Good luck to both guys.
3. Getting great feedback on our new club T shirts. They look fantastic & answer the call for a distinctive club shirt to wear casually or for training and also to take away when racing. A number of our prizewinners received these at our Presentation Night so we will give them another week to feel special before offerring our remaining stocks for general sale. The shirts will be sold to members at cost ($60) with the club subsidising design and freight costs.
YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRIATHLETE WHEN ...

... you looked out the window this morning and checked the BOM before riding (a small spot of blue hanging over Lee Point/Nightcliff)
... you live your year by events ... and it's flying by ... it's almost Noosa !
Safe Training,
Cheers,
Robyn
